There are a loooooot more Pokemon that could fit Fairy than just those. Manaphy especially since Bulbapedia says that its name might come from fairy. Plus it has fairy inspirations and it's in the fairy egg group. Celebi has obvious fairy inspiration as well.

Also I think Fairy would be better just so Normal type makes more sense. Why is a generic rat in the same group as an alien from outer space with magical powers? All the oddball moves that don't seem normal at all could also fit into it like Secret Power, Simple Beam, etc---3DS FC: -White 2 FC: 1765 0547 5604, Name: Kojo

Good idea but i doubt they'll retcon already-dual-typed mons like Celebi. Empoleon looks like it should be Ice/Flying too and Lugia Dragon/Water/Ice, and yet we have just what we have

I doubt they'd have a problem retconning dual types. They did it with Rotom when it wasn't even necessary in gen 5.---3DS FC: -White 2 FC: 1765 0547 5604, Name: Kojo

They've retconned types before and in this instance, they could easily have an ingame event to explain it away. Perhaps something has "awakened" a latent ability in some of these Pokemon?---rawr
